galvanizing

There are zinc bearing paints at your welding suppliers place. Comes in spray cans, too. Probably not a good as the original coating, but they say it has the same galvanic action.

Check with the place that does the galvanizing. They should have sticks that you use with a torch to touch up places. Use a torch to heat it up and rub the stick over it. A wire brush used on it can hide the fact it's been repaired. Our shop does this on a regular basis.

The parts ar too small for that, paint is out of the question. The only other thing I could do is make the part out of Al and I dont have the equipment for that. One of the parts is just two washers welded together. I was told there was somone in this group that did this.

The joints on my dog kennel (purchased 13+ years ago) were painted with zinc bearing paint. No rust to date and Thor the wonder dog never spent a night in it.

I've heard good reports og "Galvafroid" and "Zinga" cold galvanising products. Google should get you their web sites.

Sorry about Thor, they can brighten your day with just one look.
